Surgery tomorrow



Recommended Posts

I was mortified before, during, and immediately after the surgery. At 5 days post-op, it's a whole different feeling. Be brave, and know that good things are on the horizon.

Best wishes for calmer nerves and a good day tomorrow!

My surgery is in the morning. I feel so nervous and scared. My gallbladder is being removed as well. I have come this far, why am I so scared?

My surgery is tomorrow as well. Nervous doesn't even begin to describe what I'm feeling. More like terrified.

I'm 6 days post-op and feeling great. I was terrified all the way until they gave me my happy juice. Felt good right after surgery and lost 12 pounds since last Wednesday. Don't look back, look forward, you won't regret it.

My pleasure, this is truly the best thing I have ever done. I'm realistic that there will be setbacks, disappointments, etc., but it is better than the alternative. I'm off my insulin and blood pressure meds and hope to come off all meds by yrs end. I wish you the best.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
